Radio unit is equipped with an electronic Comfort Antitheft system which operates in conjunction with the instrument cluster.

After disconnecting the radio power supply, the radio is ready for use again once the power supply is connected. The Antitheft code does not need to be entered again. The requirement is that the first activation of the electronic Antitheft system follows and that the radio is reconnected in the same vehicle.
